T., March 10.The steamer Walls Walla of San Francisco, plying in Puget Sound, was seized bythe custom officers for omitting the proper entries of freight on the inward manifest. Four barrels, supposed to containsauerkraut, were confiscated, which weretaken through to Tacoma without beingentered on the customs record. Tiefreight list at Tacoma indicated that thebarrels came from San Francisco, consigned to Ellenburg. Shortly after thebarrels were seized by the custom officersthey were found to contain opium valuedat nearly $10,000. The barrels were putaboard the steamer at Victoria and secretly taken through to Tacoma. The penalty for false entry is $10,000. The steamerwas en route to Vancouver when shewas seized. The officials claim they canprove conspiracy and will cause thesteamer a deal of trouble for bringingopium to the country. The ship officers -disclaim all knowledge of the shipmentof the barrels.
